Team Walking Challenge open to all employees

Step by step, Grand Canyon University employees can get healthier and win prizes, and they can do it together.

The 2014 Team Walking Challenge, sponsored by the GCU Wellness Committee, is scheduled to begin March 10 and go through May 10. The goal is for teams of up to 10 GCU employees to walk 10,000 steps apiece per day. That’s about five miles.

What to expect during the challenge:

Pedometers provided to each participant

A website tracker to log your steps

Weekly challenges and prizes to keep you motivated
